Chapter 1023: Strike the war and be embarrassed

"But, Regent, Austria's population is only a few million, and its territory is even less than half of my Great Qing Dynasty, so does Austria have the strength to compete with my Great Qing Dynasty for a long time!" Zihar asked, still puzzled.

It is not that Zihar is arrogant, after the former Manchu annexed the Ottoman Empire, the territory exceeded 17 million square kilometers, and the population was no less than 70 million.

Dorgon shook his head and said, "You're so whimsical! Do you think that after the Qing Dynasty annexed the Ottoman Empire, it faced only Austria? No! It is the whole of Europe, once Austria can't support it, the rest of Europe will support Austria, although my Qing Dynasty is strong, but it is not easy to defeat the whole of Europe, besides, the main enemy of my Qing Dynasty is not Europe, but ——- Ming! ”

When Dolgon talked about Da Ming, there was a chill in his expression, and there was a deep complexity.

Since moving west with the Qing Dynasty more than 26 years ago, the Ming Dynasty has always been a nightmare in Dolgon's heart, and it has always been Dolgon's wish to return to the Central Plains with the Qing Dynasty. But if you want to return to the Central Plains with the Qing Dynasty, there is only one way to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, Dolgon believes in his own feelings, even if the Qing Dynasty does not want to return to the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty will not necessarily let the Qing Dynasty go, and in the future, only one country can continue to continue between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

After the Manchu annexed the Ottoman Empire, both the territory and the strength were greatly enhanced, the Ming Dynasty may not have been on guard, and perhaps they were already considering attacking the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was too powerful, so powerful that Dolgon still felt frightened when he thought about it now, and the Qing Dynasty must guard against the Ming Dynasty with heavy troops.

Moreover, Dolgon knew that he was old, and he felt that he had little time left, and he had to see the day when the Qing Dynasty defeated the Ming Dynasty while he was still conscious, or the day when the Qing Dynasty could still hold on under the full attack of the Ming Dynasty and keep the Qing Dynasty from being destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, he had no time to continue to consume with the European countries.

Therefore, what Dolgon wanted most to do at the moment was to negotiate peace with Austria and completely stabilize the western border of the Qing Dynasty, rather than continue to fight with Austria.

"Shame on the minion!" After listening to Dolgon's words, Zihar was slightly stunned, and then sighed.

"Order, the whole army retreats!" Dorgon ordered.

"Wow!"

Immediately, a horn sounded on the battlefield, which was the clarion call for the Qing army to strike and retreat.

The horn sounded, and the Qing troops on the three battlefields gave up the battle with the Austro-Serriot coalition army, and did not attack the Austrian army that had just arrived, and the whole army began to retreat to the south in an orderly manner.

The Qing army withdrew its troops, apparently intending to strike the war and withdraw from Serbia. The Austrian and Serbian coalition forces did not dare to pursue them, and they pestered the Qing army and the Qing army to the death, so they watched the Qing army slowly withdraw from the same place.

When the Qing army completely disappeared from the sight of the Austro-Serb coalition army, the Austro-Seri coalition army burst into fierce cheers, as if they had won the war.

The commander of the Austrian reinforcements came to Salmonburg.

"Your Excellency, the Qing army has been defeated by you, and you deserve to be the most talented duke in Austria!" The commander of the Austrian reinforcements said to Salmonburg with a smile.

In fact, there are several dukes in Austria, but after Salmonburg really came out to lead the army to fight, the commander of the reinforcements said this, but it is just a good thing to say, after all, the Qing army 'defeated', it is also the honor of the whole Austria, of course, there is also some flattery in it, after all, as the only duke in Austria who came out to lead the army to fight, Salmonburg's status in Austria is still very high.

Salmonburg glanced at the commander in chief.

"The Qing army retreated like this, maybe there is some fear of our Austrian army, but we can't be unguarded, we must always monitor the movements of the Qing army, and grasp it as soon as possible!" Salmonburg said.

In fact, as long as the Qing army did not threaten the safety of Austria, Austria was not willing to have a big war with the Qing army.

After Dolgon retreated with the Qing army, Salmonburg did not withdraw the Austrian army to Austria, and was still stationed in Serbia to guard against the Qing army, but he sent people back to Austria as soon as possible to report the situation of the Qing army and Serbia to the Austrian emperor.

The Austrian emperor also did not understand the situation, and was also wary of whether the Qing army would make a comeback and attack Serbia again.

Moreover, in addition to Serbia, there was also a Qing army attacking Romania. Although Romania's relations with Austria were not as important as Serbia's, he still did not want Romania to be occupied by the Qing army if it was not occupied by the Qing army.

At present, Romania has been resisting the 120,000 Qing army alone for a full month, although several consecutive defeats, but the core of Romania Bucharest City has not been lost, but it does not mean that Romania can defeat the invading 120,000 Qing army, in fact, with the delay of time, Romania is almost inevitable to be completely captured by the Qing army.

The Austrian Emperor wondered if it was time to send troops into Romania to help Romania expel the Qing army.

The Austrian Emperor's apprehensions did not last long, and soon an envoy sent by Dorgon arrived in Vienna, the heart of Austria, to negotiate peace talks with Austria.

Peace talks between the two countries!

The whole of Austria was shocked and intrigued.

After all, even if Austria was confident that its national strength was still relatively strong, it knew that it could not be compared with the Manchus, who had annexed the Ottoman Empire, and Austria was not willing to go to war with the Manchus if it was not necessary.

The Emperor of Austria personally received the envoy sent by Dolgon, and peace talks between the two countries began.

After seven days of negotiations, the Manchus reached the following peace treaty with Austria.

The Qing Dynasty gave up continuing its attack on Serbia and withdrew from Kosovo, which was part of Serbia, recognizing Serbia as Austria's sphere of influence, but Austria could not prevent the Qing from taking Romania as a condition.

After the Qing Dynasty conquered Romania, the two sides would sign a new alliance again, and the two countries would help each other and never invade each other.

In fact, this is just a nominal explanation, which secretly means that the Qing Dynasty and Austria jointly divided Romania and Serbia, in which the Qing Dynasty got Romania and Austria got Serbia.

The reason why he agreed to such a condition was that the Austrian emperor also had his own considerations: instead of letting Serbia become independent and facing the threat of Austria's hinterland from the Manchu Qing occupation at all times, it would be better for Austria to directly annex Serbia, which would not only solve the disaster in one fell swoop, but also further expand the national strength of Austria's territory.

As for allowing the Manchus to capture Romania.

Compared with Serbia, Romania was not at all important in the eyes of the Austrian emperor.

Moreover, the eastern part of Romania was Tsarist Russia, and if the Manchus captured Romania, they would at least be able to block the invasion of Tsarist Russia for Austria, and such a peace treaty would definitely have more advantages than disadvantages for Austria.

After Austria and the Manchus reached a peace treaty, Dolgon really kept his promise and ordered all Qing troops to withdraw from Kosovo, which was subordinate to Serbia, and at the same time transferred the Qing troops withdrawn from Kosovo to Romania to attack Romania with all their might.

The Austrian Emperor kept his promise to withdraw all Austrian forces from Romania and stop all aid to Romania.

Without Austria's assistance, Romania's strength was greatly reduced, while the Qing army, after the withdrawal of troops from Kosovo, the total number of troops reached 200,000, and the strength was almost doubled.

Romania was suddenly tragic, and in a short period of time, Qingming captured the core city of Bucharest, and the king of Romania was also killed. Then the Qing army swept through the whole of Romania, and soon it was about to completely annex Romania.

Seeing that the Manchus were about to completely annex Romania, Austria was not idle, and the 50,000 Austrian troops stationed in Serbia surrounded the Serbian army and the Serbian king overnight, forcing Serbia to be annexed to Austria.

"Damn Austria, I, Serbia, will never compromise with you!" The Serbian king was suddenly betrayed by Austria and was furious.

Then, instead of directly annexing Serbia to Austria as Austria wished, he chose to rebel.

Unfortunately, the Austrian army not only outnumbered the Serbian army, but also the weapons were not a grade higher than the Serbian army, the Serbian army was defeated after only one day of resistance, the Serbian king was killed on the spot, the core of Serbia Belgrade was occupied by the Austrian army, and then the Austrian army also swept through the whole of Serbia, completely annexing Serbia.

A few days earlier, the Qing army had also annexed all of Romania.

After the annexation of Romania, Dolgon once again fulfilled his promise and sent an envoy to sign a new covenant with Austria, stipulating that the two countries would help each other, become brotherly countries, benefit each other, and never invade the other.

The Manchus and Austria were in cahoots, not only dividing up Romania and Serbia, but also successfully signing an alliance symbolizing the eternal friendship between the two countries, both of which achieved their own goals and obtained great benefits, and suddenly both sides looked at each other much more pleasantly.
